“If it wasn’t apparent before now, By The Side Of The Lake makes it abundantly clear that Wes Weddell is a master craftsman as a songwriter. Weddell’s easy going delivery and simple mien make him instantly likeable, whether on CD/MP3 or on stage. Weddell has attracted a crack band over time, but it’s the singer/songwriter himself that keeps people coming back again and again. By The Side Of The Lake brings folk music back to its roots; telling true stories about real people and places. Weddell will make you laugh and make you cry; inspire anger and thoughtfulness. He’ll entertain and educate you with his songs if only you will listen. Like the great bards of olden times, an encounter with Wes Weddell will leave you a little richer in mind and spirit than when you started. By The Side Of The Lake is a Wildy’s World Certified Desert Island Disc; a must-have album.” -Wildy Haskell, Wildy’s World
“A definite maturing of style and writing...a coming of age CD that is well worth a listen.” -Terry Ferdinand, BishopFM (UK)
“Wes Weddell is old enough now that he can be writing like that...[though] he was writing like that 15 years ago!"
-Dan Maher, Inland Folk (Northwest Public Radio)
